    just the most fun, over the top, sexy maternity session ever.

    Posted inlove!,maternity,photography geekyness,sneak peek,Uncategorized

    If you have lived in the Portland metro area for longer than 5 minuets you know this amazingly beautiful and witty soon to be mama. Daria is absolutely fabulous in every way, so when I heard on the radio she was expecting I just knew I had to do her maternity session. When she contacted me and asked if her fantastic husband Dallas could come, I said heck yeah!

    We had a great time. I just love a pregnant mama that wants to show her sexy side.  Daria & Dallas were  a riot, and I think we got some great images!

    Here are a few of my favorites so far:

    You can tell Daria is loving being pregnant, she looks so comfortable with that beautiful belly.

    They are so perfect together.

    dariamat-10texture

    Such a bombshell this mama.

    pinupone

    She knows how to vamp it up!

    heartdress

    How perfect is the big belly heart. So glad this dress still fit D!

    thecouple

    I love that they got all giddy talking about their little dude. He is going to be one loved baby.

    So after a few of the ones above I asked Daria to break out a comic book or two.

    I always like to include people’s art and passions.  Well a comic book or two later we ended up in full on Batman costume! How freaking rad is Dallas for making it work. :)

    dariamat-15

    this one is my personal fav.  I love the contrast of the belly & the batman.  I could see this one printed BIG.

    Miss Daria art directed this shot. Have I mentioned they were super fun? I love clients with a vision.

    batmansetverticle

    and this one is just so them.

    Daria & Dallas, I had an absolute blast meeting the two of you. Thanks for letting me have free reign over your home to make the shoot work. I hope you love these as much as I do. I can’t wait to hear all about your little dude. He is one lucky boy! I am already having visions of him cradled in super hero arms. :) And as I do for all new clients I would be happy to offer you a blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this post I will throw in an 11×14 mounted wall print. You know that is if you can spare a little room on your beautifully covered walls.

    So get commenting people.  How could you not have something to say!

    when photographer girls attack

    Posted inmy life,photography geekyness,Uncategorized

    See what happens when you set up a night shoot with a bunch of other photographers and the model is late?

    ospw_09_002_forweb

    You get silly images of other photographers (or your self ahem).  Yep that is me, the lovely Kacy Jo & the ever so fabulous Jenifer. In my own defense the cat like pose was all Kacy.

    Photo taken by the incomparable ” Cupcake Keizer” aka Brandon Perron.

    Happy Monday folks, I thought you all might like a giggle at my expense.  ;)

    I will be posting lots this week, I have the other half of Michael & Whitney‘s super amazing wedding coming up, a over the top bombshell maternity session and a few other fun bits thrown in. Oh and actual photos of the model from the shoot above. I am still catching up on those fun photos from Seattle. Lots to share so keep clicking back ya’ll!

    Happy Monday!

    Matt & Meghan are FUN! {Portland Oregon Wedding Photography)

    Posted inlove!,photography geekyness,sneak peek,Uncategorized

    No really they are, and that might even be an understatement! I met this lovely couple a last year in their search for a wedding photographer, Meghan and I both showed up to the coffee shop early so we got a chance to chat before Matt showed up. We laughed and giggled like old friends, by the time Matt came to meet us I knew I just had to do their wedding.  Well after months of planning, sickness, rainy days and scheduling conflicts we finally met up again for engagement photos. And yes I will say it again, these two are FUN! Their wedding has a bridge theme so we met at the beautiful Cathedral Park in the St. John’s area of North Portland. We had a blast, we laughed we giggled, we talked about poop jokes, it was great!

    It was very very hard to choose, but here are a few of my favs so far. Be warned there are allot of them!

    yellowwall

    We started with the whole family, their little lab girl was such a cutie! And this yellow wall was perfect with Matt’s favorite collage jacket. It’s Go Huskies right? Gah I am so bad about remembering teams.

    doggyset

    Did I mention the cute pup? She was such a sweet girl, and only licked my lens once!

    bwbridgeset

    Once we got a few with the sweet doggy we got under the bridge to get some of that cool architecture. I just love the view here, and I can still hear Meghan’s cute laugh!

    stairsbig1

    Some couples have to take a little time to warm up, not these two, they were so great in front of my camera!

    iheartyouset

    no we did not graffiti the park, but yes we did use it, how perfect right.

    yellowbush

    They are just so cute together.

    greengrassup

    I absolutely love this one, I think it would look great printed super large!

    framedingreen

    you can not tell here but Meghan is about to bust up here :)

    sillyset

    and speaking of busting up, oh my dog these two had me in stitches! the scene on the left is what they call “Surfing Meghan” I believe. They bust out that move at weddings I hear, I am so hoping to get that one on their big day again. Can you imagine!M&M get ready!

    Guys I had an absolutely fabulous time with the two of you. I will have the whole set for you soon, and we can get started on that sign in book of yours! Thanks again for being so fun! I even have a little blog challenge for you. If you can get 3o people to comment on this post I will give you a 11×14 wall print on me. I just know people have stuff to say about those fish faces, so get commenting people!

    I’m leaving on a jet plane…

    forblogfall

    It’s true, in the morning I will be up crazy early to head down south for a very special wedding.  Thanks to the recommendation of some wonderful local clients (the cute family above) I have been hired to shoot a wedding in Texas! I am so excited!

    After visiting this little blog to see sneak peeks of bellies and growing babies Jarett & Julie asked me to shoot their wedding, and I could not be more flattered. I am excited to travel and meet the whole extended family. I am also really excited about the photographic possibilities down south. We will be in a super cute little quaint small town smack in the middle of the state.  How cool would it be to put my bride & Groom next to a huge cactus! Anyway the possibilities for creativity are endless, and I can not wait.

    If you are looking to book a session or wedding please be patient with me. I will be back on Monday and do all my responding via email and phone then. I will also be away from facebook & twitter *gasp*! If you need to get a hold of me I will have some phone access, but really if you can wait until Monday that is your best bet!

    so untill then friends, have a marvelouse weekend! I will have lots to show for my self next week!
